Generation of Cross-Polarized Photon Pairs in a Microstructure Fiber With Frequency-Conjugate Laser Pump Pulses

Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the generation of cross-polarized photon pairs via four-wave mixing with cross-polarized frequency-conjugate laser pump pulses. This method can be used for various quantum information applications such as the preparation of Bell states.
